        I have said this a number of times, and we have agreed to it in
principle, but it never seems to make it into a draft.
        
        The Board adopted a large part of the BGC report, and this
(according to Roberto Gaetano) INCLUDED the definition of what we are
now calling Users or Non-Contracted Parties. This definition is
Registrant.
        
        Now because most of us happen to own (lease?) domains, we are
often technically registrants. But that is not how we see ourselves in
most of our discussions. 
        
        The current By-Laws talk about Commercial and Non-Commercial
USERS. The adopted BGC report changed that.
        
        To make sure that the Board reverts to the current definition,
it must be EXPLICITLY in our report.  A simple statement such as "The
definition of the Non-Contracted House should be that of USER and
NON-CONTRACTED PARTY, and not the more restrictive "REGISTRANT".
